I LEGALLY ACQUIRED K118M ASSETS – FAITH MUSONDA
Journalist Faith Musonda has submitted in the Economic and Financial Crimes Court that the properties worth over K118 million the State wants to forfeit for being proceeds of crime were legally acquired.
Ms Musonda, through her lawyers, has submitted that an attempt to attribute suspicion of proceeds of crime to assets she lawfully acquired and are properly accounted for is unjustified.
“We submit that this [motion] constitutes a fit and proper case for this court to conclude that the properties in question were legitimately acquired,” the former Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) communications and public relations manager and ZNBC staffer has submitted.
Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) wants properties worth over K118 million seized from Ms Musonda forfeited to the State for being tainted.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has also filed documents supporting the plea for forfeiture of the properties, among them a house in Kingsland City’s and plots in Chisamba and Ibex Hill, Sela Property Investments Limited, Covenant Broadcasting Company and Life Television Limited, government bonds, treasury bills and Madison Finance fixed term deposit units.
But Ms Musonda has opposed the planned forfeiture, arguing that contrary to the complaint received by ACC regarding the Kingsland City property, she never bought the house at US$180,000.
This is a very easy case to win in court by the Director of Public Prosecutions if all skills available in the public sector were brought together to ensure that the public interest prevails.
Well said…Ba Arsenal!
Why is the source of this ladys money kept secret..why.
Bwana this woman aquired this money “all of a sudden”….did she win a lottery? Even abroad, Lottery Companies dont give you the entire amount at once. The lump sum would never have even come close the state amount she is being asked to explain for.
HaaMulenga, stop exposing your ignorance in public. Clearly you have never lived “abroad” before.
You people are used to telling lies. How embarrassing.
Let her disclose her source of income and
Yearly tax submission.
Hello from Happykiddi.
To a lawyer, to lie to a court of law on behalf of a client is no big deal. I find this troubling about this profession.
Tayali claims that this woman got that wealth because she was someone’s side plate. Who is that someone?
This woman is a liar, lol. She had 65million cash at home and wants to claim she legally acquired that money?
How?
Show the paper trail if you legally acquired everything and how and when including records of all taxes paid etc.
